Tango
Language: German (Deutsch)
Tango tönt durch Nacht und Flieder. Ist's im Kurhaus die Kapelle? Doch es springt mir in die Glieder, Und ich dreh mich schnell und schnelle. Tango -- alle Muskeln spannt er. Urwald und Lianentriebe, Jagd und Kampf -- und wie ein Panther Schleich ich durch die Nacht nach Liebe.
